Gift Making

My little niece Alexis turns six in a few days. It's hard to believe that it was that long ago that she was born! I don't get to see her as often as I like because we live too far apart, but I was able to make her a gift for her special day. The bag is blue because her mom says that's her current favorite color, and I made the lions because they are her current favorite animal. Hopefully she has fun with my gift!

I used one of Floresita's Vintage Transfers for the flower sprig on the right of Alexis' name. The little wool felt lion is from a Japanese craft book pattern, and the amigurumi lion is from Ana Rimoli's pattern book.

About Me

I live in a little house near a beaver pond and marsh. By day, I'm a small animal veterinarian and now a mama. I enjoy making and crafting things, vegetarian cooking, and collecting dolls. This blog showcases my sewing, embroidery and other needlework projects, as well as the occasional bit about life in my little piece of the world. If you want to find me on Instagram, my id is elizabethswhimsies and I mostly post my sewing and quilting projects there.
